we had a corvus system on apple IIs in our library.  The system was
served by a IIe, and had two II+ terminals.  You could access
anything from the terminals, and the librarian though her PWs
were safe.  Just reboot the machine, dump into the monitor, and
go looking.  Cool, right below $9600 where it belonged, in the
string space.....
